lyrics
Hey sister, I got something to say
Because you're leading me on
With all the games that you play
It was cool when we were just hanging out
But when we're out and about
You cause me serious doubt
Well I play, too
I can play with you
If you show me what not to do
Let's just be cool
This is not high school
Quit taking me seriously
I don't want to be your lover forever
But I never say never so let's see what goes on
Stop treating me like Little Jack Horner
Yeah, he sat in his corner
With his thumb in his pie-ie-
I play, too
I can play with you
If you show me what not to do
Let's just be cool
This is not high school
Quit taking me seriously
Did you really think that I would try
To hold you back at all?
That wouldn't be right
And now it feels odd that you feel it, too
And if the sun and moon should ever collide and we're the only ones
left on Earth
I've got a feeling that I'd be quite popular with you.
Now you've got me all worked up in a lather
'Cause I'd really much rather
Be holding your hand
I bet you'd think that I was some kind of god
And I'd be catching your eye
If I was in a rock band.
But I play, too
I can play with you
If you show me what not to do
Yeah, let's just be cool
This is not high school
Quit taking me seriously
Because you're leading me on
With all the games that you play
It was cool when we were just hanging out
But when we're out and about
You cause me serious doubt
Well I play, too
I can play with you
If you show me what not to do
Let's just be cool
This is not high school
Quit taking me seriously
I don't want to be your lover forever
But I never say never so let's see what goes on
Stop treating me like Little Jack Horner
Yeah, he sat in his corner
With his thumb in his pie-ie-
I play, too
I can play with you
If you show me what not to do
Let's just be cool
This is not high school
Quit taking me seriously
Did you really think that I would try
To hold you back at all?
That wouldn't be right
And now it feels odd that you feel it, too
And if the sun and moon should ever collide and we're the only ones
left on Earth
I've got a feeling that I'd be quite popular with you.
Now you've got me all worked up in a lather
'Cause I'd really much rather
Be holding your hand
I bet you'd think that I was some kind of god
And I'd be catching your eye
If I was in a rock band.
But I play, too
I can play with you
If you show me what not to do
Yeah, let's just be cool
This is not high school
Quit taking me seriously

about
Before Dawn Appleton, Wisconsin

With a timeless showmanship and knack for comedic timing, this two-person outfit is guaranteed to start a full-on dance party with or without you.” – Shawn Petsche, Sled Island Music Festival Promoter ... more
